"Rodrica Rudge" started out as a classical pianist, taking exams at the Royal College of Music, London, she also learned how to play cello and guitar. Later, she went on to become a published poet who then concentrated on writing lyrics and music. She worked for several years in the advertising industry, planning and negotiating publicity and advertising campaigns for many companies including music promoters and their acts. She currently licenses music and/or lyrics to companies/organizations, she also writes promotional pieces for small businesses and commissioned songs for individuals/special occasions. Under her "artist" name she writes, performs, produces and engineers all her material herself. For special projects, she also occasionally collaborates with other writers and composers.Have you performed in front of an audience?Occasionally. But now I am studio based as I work as a songwriter rather than a performer - although I do perform, record and produce all the material I write.

All kinds of equipment: Electric and acoustic instruments, recording hardware - digital recorders, computers, even occasionally tape recorders & DAT machines. Outboard units (effects/reverb, compressors, EQ units, mixers, pre-amps etc). Different kinds of software. Some very old gear, some very new stuff, ranging across most manufacturers....it depends on what type of music I'm working on.Anything else?

something about a great rollicking blues rock number and def got some early Blondie buzz about this (vocals totally and in particular, great performance Rodz!) Bruce's guitar as always is excellent! Great work you two!
